Explanation:

the particles in liquids and gases move faster when they are heated than they do when they are cold. As a result, the particles take up more volume.

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality
Colt1911 [192]

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality is called "a theory".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, the interpretation of a feature of the organic world that can be tested in repeat manner and analysed by applying agreed tests validation methods, calculation and observation in according to the scientific method, such process is called as a theory in science.

The difference lie between a theory and a hypothesis. Because hypothesis is an "educated guess". Overall it is either a proposed interpretation of an observed phenomenon, or a logical inference of a possible causal association between several phenomena.

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

"What is the magnifying power of an astronomical telescope using a reflecting mirror whose radius of curvature is 5.9 m and an e
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The Magnifying power of a telescope is M = 109.26

Explanation:

Radius of curvature R = 5.9 m = 590 cm

focal length of objective f_{objective} = \frac{R}{2}

⇒ f_{objective} = \frac{590}{2}

⇒ f_{objective} = 295 cm

Focal length of eyepiece f_{eyepiece} = 2.7 cm

Magnifying power of a telescope is given by,

M = \frac{f_{objective} }{f_{eyepiece} }

M = \frac{295}{2.7}

M = 109.26

therefore the Magnifying power of a telescope is M = 109.26
